SoL All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mixture

Are you new to the gluten-free world?  Are you still reeling from your last trip to the grocery store when you had to pay a fortune for a small box of all-purpose gluten-free flour mix?  Many of us feel your pain.

There are times when purchasing pre-made bread or mixes are necessary but with a little investment of time, you can have your own mixture at hand when you're home.

It has taken me a number of years, trials, errors, almosts, and many other attempts to come up with a flour mixture that can be used for bread, pancakes, rolls, and other various baking/cooking needs.  I'm in the process of coming up with a light mixture for delicate cookies and pastries.  Stay tuned.

Gluten-Free "IHOP" style Buttermilk Pancakes

The wish was to come up with a mixture is that fairly readily available in grocery stores, Wal-Mart, and of course health or specialty foods such as WholeFoods.  Not only that but reasonably priced flours and starches.  Now, instead of paying upwards of $6 a loaf of bread or bread mix, I can average about $2 a loaf and sometimes less with coupons or sales.  That's when hoarding, I mean stocking up is a good thing.  :-)

Ingredients

• 3 Parts Brown Rice Flour
• 2 Parts Soy Flour
• 2 Parts Sorghum Flour
• 1 Part Potato Starch
• 1 Part Corn Starch

Parts were used rather than actual measurements so that you can make as little or as much as you'd like.  If you make a bunch it will help save time when you're baking or cooking.

This recipe was made possible by trying my own concoctions as well as the following flour mixtures.
